Member Testimonials
My 4.5 year old loved camp this summer! He looked forward to the new theme and activities each week. He always felt happy and welcome when we dropped him off each morning. In the evenings he couldn’t stop talking about everything that happened during the day.
My daughter developed swim skills and learned all the camp songs. She had a super time with new and old friends
It was fun, and very well organized!
This was our second year sending all three of our girls. They loved it. The counselors were all so enthusiastic and kind (and I appreciated the ratio of counselors to kids. SHOUTOUT MS. MICHELE, Ms. HALEY AND MS. ASHLEY!)
The diversity of the stuff the kids did every day kept them on their toes, active and engaged. The kids also had enough free time to socialize and make friends.
Staff was so pleasant and happy to be there.
Everything! The organization, the activities, the people, staff, etc. This was my son’s first summer day camp experience and he loved it so much! It was great seeing how he matured after completing Kindergarten and attending this camp. We were both sad that it’s over, but we will definitely make sure to enroll him for next year. Thank you NA for making this summer memorable for my son!!!! :-)
I like the fun filled activities the camp provided and also appreciate all the hard work and dedication of the staff! They were great and very helpful
Very friendly and felt she was in good hands
The New Discoveries camp was a wonderful experience for our child this summer. The staff was caring and attentive and created a wonderful inclusive environment. Our child loved her summer camp experience and we hope to participate again next summer.
Passionate counselors with a high return rate. Fun camp activities including swim lessons.
My 5 year old had a great 2 weeks at new adventures, and is asking to go back next summer! I was very impressed with the supervision and communication from the counselors.
We love New Discoveries!!! All the counselors were incredibly friendly and my daughter loved going to camp everyday!
Hours worked perfectly for me and my son enjoyed it
My daughter makes friends,enjoys the activities, loves the pool, and the counselors are great
Our experience with New Discoveries was nothing short of memorable. Our son had so much fun in a friendly, engaging environment and he has already told people that he’s going back next year. Thank you to all of the staff at New Discoveries for making my son’s first camp experience so amazing!
Good coaching instruction
My son enjoyed making new friends. He enjoyed the activities. He would have liked the swimming component a bit more if the kids did not all have to change in one big room. He is very self aware and more demanding of privacy. I think this is true when the kids are 6 and over. Before that, they are not as aware.
My son had a great time and progressed while doing this program with his friend and coaches he knew. He is aging out of the program now-- wish it was available for high school level!
Staff was wonderful. Liked the programming
Diversity, activities, great staff, and clean well kept facilities.
The counselors were all so warm and caring and wonderful, and my four year old daughter had a blast, esp. with all the swimming and water play, but also all the art and science. My only request is that you reinstate the friend request, at least allowing one request. I know it would mean a lot to get to spend extra time with a close friend she doesn't get to see as much over the summer. It also just adds an instant comfort level as they adjust to the change of camp.
The counselors are great.
Pros:
- schedule and before / aftercare options
- most counselors are energetic, clearly love working with kids and seemed happy to be there
- getting the schedule and events in advance
- very reasonably priced
- swimming lessons
My kids were very happy and enjoyed their time at the camp. Counselors were very caring and my kids felt their care. Thank you for providing a good , fun experience for my boys.
The New Adventures program was a great entry into camp for my son! He loved his counselors and had so much fun each day! The director was super responsible and always present. The themes were cute, they spent a lot of time outdoors and he fell in love with swimming. Would definitely recommend and we will plan to be back next year!
The swim lessons are so great for the kids!
The swim lessons are such a valuable part of the camp!
All of the staff & counselors were excellent. I don't know how they kept the energy up all day but it was always amazing to see and pickup and dropoff. The kids were extremely engaged all day and had a blast! The one piece of constructive feedback I'd offer is that communication was a bit lacking. It would be great to get information more in advance of camp start to know what to expect. There also was no way to get in touch with counselors during the day (aside from main number) or see any photos of what the kids were up to.
We loved it! Penny came home happy every single day. Every counselor we interacted with was high energy, friendly, & wonderful with children. We could not be happier! Thank you guys SO much for an amazing summer. Mr. A and Mrs. Amanda were exceptional.
Thank you!
It was organized, the themes were great, and my daughter had a really fun time. The counselors were all nice and it felt like there were several experienced people running the operation which made me feel safe and good at drop off.
